Physical appearance: 6'0 ft tall, Dark red eyes, long white hair, a scar on his left cheek. Normally wearing noble clothing except when in the field or away from the kingdom. When in the field, Talvdus tends to wear more casual noble clothing. Not the one for elegant clothing when in the field.  

History: The young prince Talvdus Avathi of the Lunaris Elf kingdom of Uzarin. Being the youngest of five and with no magical talent, Talvdus was not expected to inherit anything or gain any title of note. Instead of simply resign to living a life of no importance and just waste time with parties and wine. Talvdus threw himself into training as a warrior. One of the few things he could excel at. Becoming strong and proficient with several melee weapons. 

Once he was old enough, Talvdus joined the military and due to his skills but mainly because he was a royal. He was granted control of a 
large company of heavy infantry. Mainly made up of lowborns with nobility as officers. Talvdus wasted no time in gauging his troops and seeing that they were a somewhat misfit group. So he started drilling him and getting them into a proper fighting force, despite some opposition from his men. Over time Talvdus found that his company was getting into fighting shape, and soon he would be satisfied but, events within the kingdom would make Talvdus and his company see action. 

For relations with the nearby orcish kingdom of Qeazar were tense, and an incident with the champions that were sent out left several dead on both sides. The orcs declared war, and Uzarin would marshal its forces. Talvdus's company would see action several times during the war but, it was during the siege of Osenlian, a key city, that Talvdus and his company would make themselves known. When the orcs managed to destroy a piece of the wall, and a breach was formed with no troops nearby but his to secure the breach. Without orders, Talvdus ordered his company to secure the breach when the orcs started a charge at the exposed wall. Despite the strength of the orcs soldiers and the line held with Talvdus being in the thick of it with his men. 

Eventually, the orcs retreated from the breach, and reinforcements came to help Talvdus's company secure the breach. In the end, the orcs were forced to end the siege and retreat from the city. Thus, winning the day for the besieged elves and for their efforts to save the city. Talvdus and his company were commended for their bravery and fortitude in securing the breach and denied the orcs entry into the city despite the odds. Talvdus was only happy that they did their job despite it all and personally congratulated his company. 

Talvdus and his men would continue to fight, and the war would end with Uzarin winning the war. By then, the Ebony Shields, as Talvdus called them, had become famous in the kingdom. With Talvdus finally getting what he wanted, a chance to prove himself and be known more than being just a prince. Though this celebration would not last as news of the darkness was spreading and kingdoms were falling one by one. Realizing the coming threat of the darkness, Uzarin joined the growing coalition of nations to combat the threat as they were deciding on who to send to join the coalition's forces. The king, Fovesu Avathi, soon knew just who to send. So Talvdus and the Ebony Shields, after being boosted in size to 500, were sent to join the coalition's forces and helped to stop the darkness from taking over.

Number: 500

Specialization: Heavy infantry 

Description: Ebony-colored steel heavy armor with a large steel shield and with most using a sword as an main weapon though the group often chooses what weapon they want to use. With the symbol of the kingdom on the shields.  

History: Starting as a company of heavy troops that were not tested yet. It was not until prince Talvdus was assigned to command them that things started to change for the company. Their training and drilling under Talvdus made them ready for the war with the orcish Kingdom of Qeazar. Their high note of the war and what made them into the Ebony Shields was the siege of Osenlian. A key city in the region that if it was not for the fast-acting and stubborn Shields. The city would have fallen to the orcs and they were praised highly for it. Officially named the Ebony Shields by Talvdus and would see more action until the war's conclusion. Which by that time, had made them famous in the kingdom and were ultimately chosen by the king to join the coalition's forces in battling the darkness.        

Country: The Ebony Shields are from the Lunaris Elf kingdom of Uzarin. A medium-sized nation located in the south, along the Treterel river that is the last river on the right side of the Innistou Mountains. Ruled by the Avathi Dynasty even since its founding centuries ago. The kingdom of Uzarin is mainly known for their scholarly pursuits. Hosting a good amount of libraries and academies. Enjoying good relations with most of its neighbors except for the orcish Kingdom of Qeazar. For they hold grudges against Uzarin over past wars and incidents. Leading to a military buildup in the kingdom in case of a future war. Which now recognizing the threat of the coming darkness, they are preparing a defense of the kingdom if the darkness reaches their borders. [/hider]
